Lighting Your Grill with a Match
Using a Match to Determine if there is
Gas Flow to the Burners
1) Open the grill lid.
2) Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position. Check by pushing in and turning
knobs clockwise.
Note: It is important that all burner control knobs be
in the off position before you turn on the LP tank.
If they are not, the flow limiting device built into the
regulator will activate, limiting the flow of gas from
the LP tank.
3) Turn the LP tank on by slowly turning the tank valve
counterclockwise; wait 60 seconds.
Note: It is important that the LP tank is turned on
slowly. If it is opened too quickly, the flow limiting
device built into the regulator will activate, limiting the
flow of gas from the LP tank.
4) Begin with burner 1, furthest to the left. Put match
in the matchstick holder and strike match. Insert lit
match down through the cooking grates, past the
FLAVORIZER BARS and next to the burner (A).
5) Push the burner control knob in and turn it
counterclockwise to the start/high
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through
the cooking grates and through the cutout in the
FLAVORIZER BARS (B).
7) If the burner does not ignite within 4 seconds,
turn burner control knob to the off
wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear before
attempting to light the burner again. If repeated
attempts fail, follow the gas flow troubleshooting
instructions on the next page.
8) If the burner ignites, the problem lies in the ignition
system. Follow the instructions for "Checking the
Components of the Electronic Ignition System."
9) After burner 1 ignites, you can turn on burner 2
(and burner 3).
